You missed the best part, when the Kid says "you gotta be KIDDING me!" when he sees him again in the outhouse.

I just finished my first read through last night. While I feel like I mostly understand Holden's philosophy on things, I'm curious as to what you all think? Like how would you summarize the Judges philosophy and motives?

The judge is the judge of all things. The conversations he partakes in, the negotiations he’s apart of, even becomes the spokes person and arbiter of the Glanton Gang. He makes everything go his way. He wants the people around him to be entertained, he entertains. He wants to ensure someone goes to jail for their crimes, he does just that. The Judge has the ability to manipulate gods will based in the human flaw of morals and values. The book is actually a lot of fun, why OP put it down is because he’s a peanut head and can’t comprehend /lit/erature
